I love this man!

You are too kind in your complements.
Yours was no ignorance at all. Everyone of us is partly ignorant and partly not. The clownests of all are those who think or feel like they know everything.
Despite your humility, I had clicked on your channel this morning (if the top video is your own) I found it to be somewhat the summary of what the foundation of cognition should be. I listened to about half of it, and will hear the rest latter.
Thanks for that.
Peace be with you.

thank you rollingklouds for correcting my inaccuracy. you enlighten me, brighten the darkness of ignorance if Persian (Farsi) was the language...thanks much. to poetry, clarity, love & the peaceable Universal oneness of us all...Namaste.

Rumi wrote in Persian (Farsi), not Arabic. Arabic literature too, is incredibly rich and beautiful.
Truly, Barks' contribution is immense.
The cult of Frankfurt Institute cut off the West from its heritage, and gave 'birth' to a cultural 'baby' that is neither Western, nor spiritual. An implant is being run as the real western civilization.
Souls of mankind are kept apart through 'clashes of civilizations', and its swords are run against one another for bloody displays; what a shame.

There IS no more beautiflul poet/Translator in our American language than this man...the Teacher/Intepreter of RUMI to our language...who has done this Work for so many years. Bless This Man of Character & Deserts.....Bless this Lion of a man. He has brought us an entirely new culture in his translation work of the World's most beloved Arabic poet...who Transforms us in his Native tongue....Bless this man who brings us Rumi.
He is exquisite.
